Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Námestovo & Žilina face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Slovakia Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Námestovo and Žilina.

Námestovo has a nice streak going on as they have played ten consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Fomat Martin defeat 340 days ago. Námestovo has recorded two wins in a row here at Štadión MŠK Námestovo, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.
Námestovo's last game was hosting Rimavska Sobota and winning 4-1. 0-0 away at Oravske Vesele before that.
Despite playing at their own arena the home team are massive underdogs in this game. The home fans will enjoy their drinks and snacks knowing that the chances of a positive outcome are very slim.

Žilina form and stats
Žilina's mission in Slovakia Cup last season failed in the 8th finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their Super Liga travels is 2 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats. Žilina seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Two away games in a row for Žilina, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 2-3 versus Sered in the Super Liga. That result followed a home victory 6-2 versus Zemplín Michalovce in the Super Liga.
